It's the same when you visit a blog. :)

My CT, Carolyn, has a reason to celebrate! Her son just graduated from college as VALEDICTORIAN!! (CONGRATULATIONS, EDWARD!!!) Carolyn create some wonderful layouts using the following kits from my store:

What do you think?

The great thing about the School Daze series is that the colors can be adapted to ANY grade level! The Crayon Craze pack and Bus Stop Add-On work well for the primary grades, and as you've seen above, the others lend themselves well to the older age groups!

If you have some school layouts to finish, please stop by my store and snag up these great kits!

Sorry I've been MIA - between my two sons' baseball schedules, we are at baseball fields six days a week almost! Too bad those fields are so darn dusty!! - Otherwise I could take my laptop to the fields!! :)

Anyway - This is a kit that I used to have as part of a megakit at MooTwo Designs. Now that I no longer sell through there, it is available by itself through my stores. This is a great kit for those older-kid school layouts - especially high school and college layouts! Take a look at Education Station!

In fact, look at what I made as a graduation gift using graphics from this kit:

I bought the plastic cannisters at Target. There were the medium-size ones - about 7" tall. I filled them with the giant re-sealable bag of M&M's. The front tag is a quote I often used with my students before a test. Whether it's a "true" fact or not is immaterial - everyone feels better before a test after eating chocolate!

Then I sat down and wrote out my personal tips to SUCCESS in college. Well-beyond the "Don't wash your whites with your reds," these are some practical (but funny) things that every college-bound kid should know. The parents of the graduates who received them said that it's nice to have sound advice coming from someone other than the parents... perhaps the kids are more likely to listen? :)

Here are my Secrets To College Success - all are based on personal experience in some way or another!

College was one of my favorite times - lots of new experiences, friends, and freedom! Wishing all of our graduates the best of luck - Remember to "Live a Life Worth Writing About!"

I you have any access to the news today, you've heard that today is a GREAT DAY to be an American. As Mark Twain said, "I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure." In celebration, I've marked down my FREEDOM kit from $6.00 to just $2.00 for this week.

And of course, the FREEDOM QUICK PAGES are always FREE in my store:

Sorry - this is no longer a freebie.

Remember that I also have my Easter Tear Bear as a FREE-With-$5.00 purchase... this little guy is too cute to pass up!

Extending a huge THANK YOU to our soldiers and their families for the sacrifices they make every day so that I may enjoy America's freedoms,
